Dustin Kruse won the USRA B-Mod main event.

It was Tasseldega Nights at Deer Creek Speedway on Saturday. The Local County Corn Growers Associations of Dodge, Goodhue, Freeborn, Fillmore, Olmsted and Wabasha counties provided free admission to the grandstand.

The program was also supported by SGI, Absolute Energy, Poet Biorefining, Midwest Machinery, J&S JCB, J&S Repair, Schott Distributing, Dierks Farms, Mark Sexton Trucking, First Farmers & Merchants State Bank of Grand Meadow, Stewartville and Racine, K2 Ag-Legacy Seed, KIK Marketing and LRS Waste Services.

The USRA B-Mods had 33 entries and ran one feature this week.

Dustin Kruse took off from the outside of row one and opened up a big lead. The race for second on back was good with Brandon Hare, Jayden Larson, Taylor Skauge and Kaeden Bronner.

A yellow on lap nine would slow the race but it did not deter Kruse at all. He took off again and dominated the rest of the way for his third win of the season.

Hare finished second followed by Larson, Skauge and Bronner.

Nineteen cars started the USRA Hobby Stock feature. The race was really good, but it was hindered by a number of yellow flags.

Luke Schluetter and Krysta Doughty put on a show between the slowdowns. Doughty led until lap five when Schluetter nabbed the lead before a yellow on lap five.

On the restart, Chris Hovden made it three wide for the lead. The fifth yellow waved on lap seven and laps were cut. Another yellow on lap 14 set up a green-white-checkered finish.

Schluetter fended off a late challenge from Doughty for his first win of the year.

Nick Schwebach drove to third in the last scramble while Hovden was fourth. Ryan Goergen raced from tenth to finish in the fifth position.

Blake Adams shot to the early lead in the USRA Stock Car feature. Phillip Dunbar, Brandon Hare and Brayden Gjere were three wide for second on lap three.

Gejere zoomed to second and took after Adams. They ran close on laps six through eight before the pair exchanged several slide jobs and the lead changed several times.

Gjere took the lead on lap 12 before a yellow slowed the race and set up an exciting restart. The green came out and Hare challenged Gjere for the lead.

Hare was scored the leader on lap 14 before the yellow flag came out again. On the restart, Gjere planted himself on the cushion and drove back by Hare for the lead on lap 18.

Gjere led the last two laps for his first win of the season and ninth overall.

Hare finished second with Adams in third. Shanw Peter was fourth and Andrew Bleess charged from twelfth to fifth.

Twenty-three USRA Modifieds took the green flag for their 25-lap feature and Ryan Wetzstein jumped from row one to the lead.

Parker Hale and Jacob Bleess raced for second before a caution for debris slowed the race on lap four.

On the restart, Wetzstein led while Brandon Davis made it three wide with Hale and Bleess for second. Bleess got to second and Davis was third on lap six.

They ran that way until they caught lapped traffic on lap 14 and a yellow flag flew.

On the restart, Hale threw a "haymaker" of a slide job on Wetzstein and stole the lead int turn two and Davis was right there with the lead duo. Dustin Sorensen, who started 21st, was now in the top five.

Davis stole the lead on lap 20 while the top four remained in tight formation. Davis Davis led the final five laps for his 78th career win at Deer Creek.

Hale finished second while Sorensen’s charge ended in third. Joe Chisholm made a late charge to fourth and Wetzstein ened up fifth in the final rundown.
